The Era of Gods Chapter 152 – Terrifying Blood and Aging Field

Chapter 152 Terrifying Blood and Aging Field

|

This immense metallic platform is a void base operated by the military, similar to the space stations of the intergalactic age, with a diameter of about fifty kilometers. Its volume is considerably vast, and at this moment, numerous small flying vessels can be observed entering and exiting around the edge of this vast space station.

For every piecemeal plane group conquered, the Main World establishes a huge void base as an outpost base there, with varying scale and importance depending on the situation.

As far as Lin Xiao knew, these void bases typically had five levels, with First Level being the lowest and Fifth Level the highest. The one they were currently at was a Level 2 Void Base.

Yet, above the fifth level, there are even higher-tier void bases, for which the Yan Huang No. 5 Super War Fortress could be used as a reference.

A small portion of these small flying vehicles belongs to the base’s garrison, but most are owned by civilian groups. For example, family teams from the Main World, civilian adventure teams, and private company exploration teams. They enter the various super war fortresses from the Main World, transition to military bases within the crystal walls of different domains, and then venture out to explore the planes within.

Of course, not many have the capability to venture deep into the void for exploration. The vast majority of civilian groups conduct their explorations near the military bases, like this one, searching for treasures and resources lost within some shattered planes.

The void ship docks temporarily at the side of the outpost base, but this is just a brief stop before continuing to take them to the plane of their assignment.

In the meantime, they could purchase information about their mission plane here, or buy various resources to restock.

It’s worth noting that each military base handles a large number of civilian team adventures. They wouldn’t go to the trouble of taking the ample resources they gather back to the Main World. Most would either use them within the military base, sell them to other adventurers in need, or directly sell them to the military. Among these transactions, there are no shortage of quality goods.

Here, there is also a local trading network whose signals cover an area with the base at its center. The coverage area increases with the level of the void base. Currently, the range of this Level 2 Void Base is estimated to encompass several dozen nearby piecemeal planes.

Lin Xiao and Shen Yuexin discussed and decided to first buy a map of several large nearby piecemeal planes through military channels and specifically purchased details of the plane fragment where their mission lay, including intelligence on the Human Kingdom and the Vampire Kingdom.

Then, Wu Zhonglin once again called them for a meeting.

Half an hour later, the two returned, projecting the virtual map in front of the whole team. Lin Xiao drew two circles in one region of the map and said,

“Shen Yuexin and I are assigned to this area; Wu Zhonglin wants us to be in charge of this large sector.”

His gaze swept over the team, finally resting on Ancient City as he said,

“My idea is to have you, along with Su Tong, Yu Xinze, and Yan Shu Huan, take charge of this side.”

He then pointed to another circle:

“Shen Yuexin, Lin Xu and I will take care of the other side. How does that sound?”

Ancient City looked up at him but did not speak; it was Su Tong next to him who answered,

“Sure, that sounds good, taking charge of one side each.”

“If no one has any objections, then let’s settle it this way.”

Lin Xiao had no time for scheming or intrigue, so he simply split the team as Ancient City wished, letting everyone do their own thing.

His silence naturally meant consent.

At this point, Wu Zhonglin sent everyone a large map on which the Vampire Kingdom was divided into five differently sized areas, each marked with the avatars of their respective leaders: as few as two like Lin Xiao and Shen Yuexin, or as many as four like Wu Zhonglin’s team, totaling their group of thirteen.

“I’ve divided the Vampire Kingdom into five sectors. Zhang Guan, Gao Yongsheng, Jiang Xinyi and I are responsible for the largest central sector, and the other team leaders will each take charge of the other sectors. Everyone else is free to join groups or form teams to choose which sector they wish to campaign in. Any issues or matters will be handled by the leaders of each sector.”

“Not bad at all.”

This allocation suited the summer camp well, providing everyone with enough freedom.

What followed was the internal division of the team. Shen Yuexin shared the detailed map and intelligence of the region they would be in with the team, allowing her and Lin Xu to make a copy first and then said,

“We still have some time for preparations; we might as well take a look around the trading platform.”

Lin Xiao scratched his head, deciding to enter the Divine Realm.

He had wanted to strike while the iron was hot and chat with the beauty, but he had sensed a minor change in the Divine Realm and needed to check it out.

Upon returning to the Divine Realm, his first action was to receive all the information accumulated over this period. After a brief pause, he opened his eyes and pinched his chin, somewhat surprised.

Firstly, after exhausting the remaining eighty million plus extra Faith value borrowed from Shen Yuexin through the ancient arena, he had once again created eleven transcendent-level Supreme Naga whale knights. Together with the original seventeen, he now commanded a total of twenty-eight transcendent-level clan members.

Based on the five-level troop types and the five-level all-rounder knight profession initially accumulated, plus the actual combat experience from the previous Blood Count invasion, these eleven whale knights had finally broken through their limits after long arduous training in the ancient arena and ascended to transcendent status.

Moreover, this was only a portion; there’s still a large number of five-level Supreme Nagas in the Divine Realm, ready to rise to more transcendent clan members given enough actual combat experience and sufficient Power of Faith to open the ancient arena.

With a high-race foundation, supplemented by the miracle construction of the ancient arena, as long as there is enough Power of Faith, he can produce transcendent troops on a small scale.

The only issue is that the Power of Faith is consumed rather quickly – – nearly three hundred million of Power of Faith all drained just to create twenty-eight transcendent troops, averaging nearly a million Faith value for each one.

However, each transcendent clan member worth a million Power of Faith is still quite a good deal when all is said and done.

And since these nine hundred-plus Supreme Nagas are all level five already, there would be no need to start from scratch, so the cost would decrease over time.

Besides these developments, the second major change in the Divine Realm during this time was the birth of an Elemental Sprite, specifically a Water Elemental Sprite.

The so-called Elemental Sprite is not an Elf and has no relation to the Elf race; nor is it an element like water itself. It’s a type of being born with an innate affinity to a certain element, a transcendent creature by nature, born with mastery over any spell of the water series, extremely powerful.

This Water Elemental Sprite was born in the depths of the ocean and is a sprite of the sea, the daughter of the ocean.

Lin Xiao, looking down from his God Country upon the Divine Realm, immediately spotted a little sprite playing with a giant turtle among the coral forests deep in the sea where water elements converged.

She was only the size of a palm, completely translucent and sparkling, with specks of blue elemental light circling around her, much like a young girl and extremely similar to a Flower Fairy.

She was incredibly lively and playful, darting through the water with agility. She especially loved to climb onto the back of a huge turtle, which had a two- meter-square carapace covered in mountainous ridges, and swim to and fro. Surrounding corals and seaweed frequently nodded towards her, and from time to time, colorful fish swam around her.

Even the fierce carnivorous fish that occasionally passed by would affectionately allow her to ride on their backs and trot around.

“Truly a sprite of heaven and earth!”

Lin Xiao couldn’t help but praise. With a thought, his True Body appeared in the ocean, sending out an invisible ripple. The playing sprite looked over, tilting her head in confusion as she gazed at him. After a moment, her delicate little face showed a joyful expression and she swam over, circling around him.

He reached out his hand, and the little one landed in his palm, looking up at him curiously. A dazed thought entered his mind:

“Are you my father?”

“No, I am your brother.”

Calling him father felt weird.

The little one didn’t dwell on this, sweetly addressing him as brother instead. She reached out her tiny translucent hand, patted her mouth, yawned, and then curled up trustingly in his palm, providing a cool touch that penetrated to the heart.

“So cute!”

The newly born sprite couldn’t speakyet and couldn’t leave the Divine Realm for now, and no second Water Elemental Sprite will be born in the future.

As a being innately linked to the Divine Realm, her strength will grow with the expansion of the Divine Realm. Should Lin Xiao achieve Divine Enthronement in the future, and the Divine Realm expands sufficiently, and he establishes a divine system, as one of the four Elemental Sprites born alongside the Divine Realm, she will naturally gain the Godhood of the four elements and become one of the Divine Realm’s four Elemental Guardians.

Of course, that is a matter for the distant future. For now, she can only act as an adorable mascot.

Lin Xiao used his Divine Power to create a water bubble to carry the sleeping cutie back to the turtle’s back, his gaze briefly falling on the turtle. His eyes swept over its angular, mountainous shell and the slightly fierce dragon head, pondering for a moment without recognition.

With a thought, he used his privileges as Divine Realm Master to trace the life of this little one, quickly realizing that this creature originated from the giant turtle shell he had acquired during that final exam. After it fused with the Divine Domain Heaven Card, this little turtle was naturally born. It now seemed that this creature might be a rare Dragon Turtle.

Decades had passed, and the creature was only this size. According to the growth stages of a Dragon Turtle, it was still in its infancy and centuries away from reaching adulthood.

Fortunately, one day in the Main World equals one year in the Divine Realm. After one semester, this creature would reach adulthood, and by then, it would be a legendary sea beast of formidable strength.

Moreover, turtles have extraordinarily long lifespans, and this one also possessed dragon blood. Over time, it would grow stronger and stronger, and it could eventually become an ancient Dragon Turtle comparable to a Demigod or even a True God.

Lin Xiao didn’t stay long in the Divine Realm before departing. He had already left the subspace of the Main World and entered a Different Domain. The flow of time outside now matched that of the Divine Realm, so it was no longer possible for him to stay inside for a year or two at a time.

When he emerged, the Void Ship was just disengaging from the Void Base and heading toward a significantly large piecemeal plane, with several small ships from civilian organizations following the Void Ship out of the base, probably thinking that the military had some action planned and hoping to catch something on the side for themselves.

This situation was quite common; the military usually didn’t prevent it. On the contrary, they welcomed it. It provided an opportunity for them to assign some tasks to these groups, specifically tasks involving the eradication of sporadic resistance in the occupied regions.

“Boom!”

The massive Void Ship collided heavily against a breach at the edge of the shattered plane, directly striking the exposed crimson land in the void. Large swathes of barren red rocks were thrown into the void where they rapidly melted away.

Several kilometers from the breach on a high ground, there was a small town comprised of stacks and piles of metal containers forming a temporary settlement. This was a temporary base for civilian adventurers in this shattered plane. The buildings, similar to containerized barrack rooms, could be dismantled and moved at a moment’s notice.

In fact, this temporary base stood a century ago in a location that had already collapsed and vanished. With the edges of the fragmented plane continuously eroded by void storms, the temporary base practically had to relocate every few years.

Without the protection of the Plane Crystal Wall, this kind of erosion was endless until the entire plane was gradually corrupted by void energy and ultimately perished.

But that was a future calculated in tens of thousands of years. It was estimated that it would take tens of thousands of years before this piece of the plane would reach its end.

Moreover, this wasn’t an unsolvable issue. Should a True God emerge on this plane during this period, it would be possible to gradually repair the plane’s damaged Crystal Wall.

Given the current scale of this plane and the remaining origin energy, it could just barely support the birth of one True God.

A broad rainbow bridge extended from the Void Ship down to the barren earth, and over a thousand participants from the HuaXia District walked along the transparent bridge and descended.

Before disembarking, Lin Xiao saw the girl named Aria from the Ivy League Alliance of High Schools approach Wu Zhonglin, whispering something to him, after which he noticed the typically steadfast Wu’s face turn red.

Once everyone was off the ship, the rainbow bridge retracted, and the massive Void Ship took to the skies, departing from the piecemeal plane. It would travel along the edge of the plane to drop off participants from the Ivy League Alliance of High Schools on the other side.

Void Ships were quite rare in this vicinity, drawing curiosity from the temporary settlement in the distance the moment it descended, with many onlooking gazes directed their way from afar.
